Hi all - Suppose that we wanted to allow EPICS to have longer PV names than the default 60 characters. It seems that this is possible by modifying two files:
If you modify these two locations, then you can have records with PVs whose names are longer. ca/pvget/put seem to work find regardless, so this seems like a very simple change. However… Is there anything else that is missing that would need to be changed here? In particular, I wonder if there are any concerns with linking records to each other, or any other unexpected consequences.
